Jones has got a lot at stake now, starting at Burton on Tuesday night.
If he adds a failure with us to his two at Stoke & Southampton, it’s difficult to see where he goes next other than Gillingham.

If we lose against Burton the three clowns will soon be getting a visit from the Yanks.
This feels like the Appleton era when I couldn’t see where the next win was coming from. I fully expect Burton to beat us.
Two league wins in 12 at this level of football is pathetic. Nobody within the club seems to care though. It’s just met with a collective shrug of the shoulders.
All about reducing costs
, yet failing to realise to do this you need to spend money and get promoted.
A thought, is Jones 'playing' for a sacking? Has he seen this mob for what they are and wants a nice pay off to escape the s*** he must see behind the scenes.
Plausible?

Sack Jones forthwith.
Hire Mark Robins forthwith.
Forthwith.

Trouble is they gave Jones a 5 year contract. Do I think they will sack him and pay him off? No I don’t .
Robins is a decent manager, he's better than joining us. Imo it does not matter who we bring in until we stop f***** around on a limited budget.
The REAL problem of all this is Dushitelet, he played a blinder with selling the club and not the land.
Interested to hear where others place Jones vs our previous managers. For me in descending order:
Adkins
Jackson
Garner
Jones
Appleton
Adkins
Jackson
Garner
Jones
Appleton
What a sorry bunch - with the exception of Johnnie Jackson, who will always have my greatest respect.
Jones kept us up comfortably when we were in grave danger of relegation.
He is owed this season to sort things out. Rid the three clowns and get sensible people in and hopefully we can move forward.

Unfortunately Jones has shown nothing this season to suggest he is up to it.
If you look at every key attribute you would want in a manager, from player recruitment to tactical ability to intelligent dialogue, NJ lacks all of them.
Put another way, if our US billionaires saw the light , sacked the SMT, and then gave Jones £5m to spend in January, would you trust him not to spaff the money on another tranche of Luton has beens ? I wouldn’t.
Jones has shown that he has no eye for a player. The unfortunate thing is that Scott also can't be trusted.
Have to agree and I was one of the cheerleaders when he was appointed. When you get the sort or performances we're getting you do wonder if it's the manager or the players, and it's looking more and more to me like it's the manager. Setting the team up not to concede isn't going to bring the best out of them. The Stockport game is the only game this season where we've played proper passing football. OK we deservedly beat Birmingham by stopping them playing, but usually the defensive set-up results in us being dominated, conceding first and rarely scoring in the first half. If we're to beat anybody he has to adopt a more positive approach. The fans aren't used to seeing Charlton sides pl;aying anti-football and they don't like it.
